A little boy asks, How does a cow go to sleep—tell me how? And his father replies, A cow lies down in the soft sweet hay, In a cozy barn at the end of the day.

In this tender bedtime story each of the animals in the barnyard prepares for the night: The duck tucks his head right under his wing, the pig curls up with family and friends, the horse stands up while he's fast asleep, and the hen fluffs her feathers and sits on her nest.

Enchanting illustrations by Juan Wijngaard capture the warm and loving answers a father gives to his young son as they too prepare for the night.
